Not all SCs have 10W-30 oils, hence why I use 5W-30 instead. On my 1000km service I even have to use 10W-40 bcoz that SC doesn't have 30-weight Petronas Syntiums.

As long as it doesn't void my warranty I'm fine with that. Perhaps I'll switch to Petronas Syntium 5000 0W-30 on my next service.

to add to your analysis, might consider reading this
http://www.turbodynamics.co.uk/technical/u...gers/oil-facts/

i tend to more 'better wear protection' word on why they come out with 10w...
i got this from agpturbo site;

"If you have a standard bearing turbocharger: The loads produced on your standard bearing turbocharger’s rotating assembly require oils with high levels of ZDDP to adequately create a film between like metals. Standard bearing turbine shafts spin between bushings (bearings) and must have a constant film of oil in order for the components to survive. This is where choosing the right oil can make the difference. We have found that Brad Penn Grade 1 is one of the best and most cost effective oil out there. Other oils that we’ve found that contain the proper levels of ZDDP are Valvoline VR1 and VR1 Synthetic NSL, and Amsoil SAE Synthetic Premium Protection. We have also used Rotellla T6 synthetic oil with much success over the years.

Additionally, we advise using thicker viscosity in these brands of oil as the heat generated by high shaft speeds will break down thin 0W, 5W, and 10W oils and cause the oil to coke inside the turbo where oil temperatures can exceed 200 degrees F. Your standard bearing turbo will enjoy that you make the right choice. These are merely suggestions by us, because we have seen failures due to improper oil over the years. These types of oils may not contain the many of the detergents that most off the shelf oils have, thus you will need to change your oil more regularly than you’re used to. If you feel that the oils you run are sufficient, we would recommend having an oil analysis completed by Blackstone Labs."

Anyone writing email to Proton on this matter? If they say 5W-30 & 0W-30 are NO NO, I can opt for Petronas Syntium 0W-40, whose viscosity sits between 10W-30 and 10W-40.

I thought modern turbo engines no longer require ZDDP level as much as older turbo engines do. And I don't think those thin synthetic engine oils easily break down for turbo applications.

ask icare about the chasis no...if confirm reseave for you then your car is nearby to get

Here's what I found from Petronas:

Syntium 800 SL 10W-30
Viscosity at 40 °C  74.1
Viscosity 100 °C  11.2

Yeap the cvt is noisy when accelerate and stop at traffic jam...but not a big problem
I'm more concern about the oil control valve, malu when ppl ask why can choke like that when idle

Hi everyone,
Anybody experiencing their EB pulling to the left side and having to slightly tilt the steering 10 degrees to the right in order to maintain straight driving?
please let me know

Thanks

this sound come from cvt..as cvt will adjust the gear with the speed...or maybe the engine braking is automatically turn on...i suggest to ask krisof on proton cvt thread at autoworld forum...for me its ok i get use to it.

Last week go back to hometown kelantan...alhamdullilah no problem at all
from going to hometown and return back to JB...my car full load with all shopping goods from Thailand and Kelantan...the fuel consumption during going back its ok...as i maintain speed...but on return the fuel consumption high as full load and i speed at LPT Phase 2...at 170km/h i notice the fuel get real calculation go to 18l/100km haha...when reach gambang...distance to empty below 200km with 2 bar...

i also notice the car getting lighter and smooth when odometer over 3000km...cheers

from jb to kelantan...700km until tanah merah...

i took 10hour with stop...actually u can make 8 hour

road condition ok...but the problem road from (kuantan)jabor to bukit besi(lpt phase2)

sorry i using the fastest road...so no interesting thing
along the way. but if like sight seeing...use this road

jb-mersing-pekan-kuantan-kemaman-dungun-kuala terengganu-besut-pasir putih-kota bharu

a lot of thing...keropok at marang...beaches at kuantan...pasir putih...at kelantan can shopping at pengkalan kubur...rantau panjang...sg golok...can eat ikan bakar at kuantan...or you can go to kapas island...

The Xtronic CVT are much more refined CVT than the Punch VT2/VT3/VT4 CVT. Not to mention the Xtronic actually has even lesser moving parts than the VT series CVT. It might have the noise but since it is a much refine unit, it could be even quieter or completely being muffled by Nissan.

yes, the Xtronic CVT is more reliable since it has lesser moving parts. It doesn't use any clutch, it uses torque converter. Slightly higher power loss compared to clutch base CVT, but more durable.

the Punch CVT actually has a lifespan of 200,000km on paper. And don't worry, every parts inside is replaceable and the CVT itself is serviceable. In fact, Punch has the intention to set up a hub in Malaysia to solve/troubleshoot/fix the CVT sold by Proton. So if your belt snaps, you don't need to change whole CVT. Just replace the belt.

Oh, and just to add, the CVT has been reported to be tested to up to 250,000km by Proton engineers during the Preve development period. 

yes. due to constant engagement and disengagement, it will cause wear and tear like normal clutch also. Only the durability is longer than normal clutch since it is lubricated (wet).

OMG, why suddenly I became Kristof

Yup for both. When idling, push it to N, especially during stopping on an uphill. If you notice closely, on N, the rpm will be higher than on D. According to kristof, this is due to the engine is running some sort of pump which aids cooling of the CVT. In fact, on uphill, if you dint apply any throttle at all, the car will jerk, lurched a bit and then vibrates a little as if macam mau mati engine. I always play that with my Saga... XD

it's bad practise to put engine to D and apply brake at traffic light. just put it to N & brake.

btw add me to waiting list. cocoa-grey. been in waiting list since april, but no rush

in normal at, but in our eb ?
